Mikel Arteta issued an update on the fitness of Gabriel Martinelli after Arsenal were dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the penultimate hurdle. They were soundly beaten by Newcastle, who will face either Tottenham or Liverpool in the final after cruising to a four-goal aggregate victory over the Gunners.

With a crucial scan set, the club faces anxious wait. Gabriel Martinelli was forced off in the first half of Arsenal’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Newcastle United, adding another concern to a season already disrupted by injuries.

Arsenal will desperately hope that the hamstring injury sustained by Gabriel Martinelli on Wednesday night doesn't rule him out for any period of time.
